Oba of Lagos ban origin drink.plead for forgiveness by detagabriel(op): 12:03pm On Apr 08, 2015*

The Oba of Lagos, Chief Rilwan Akiolu, has finally issued a
personal statement regarding his recent outburst where he
threatened any Igbo who dared vote against his candidate
with drowning in The Lagos Lagoon.
The Outburst, which made waves on the internet yesterday,
where the Oba threatened that igbos saying “if you don’t vote
Ambode that i picked, you will all drown in the water”, has not
gone down well with a lot of people in the country.
But in a recent turn of events, the Oba has issued an apology
to the Igbos and everyone offended by his tirade, blaming his
actions on the popular Alcoholic drink, ORIJIN.’
In his statement, he said;
“I want to offer my unequivocal apologies to the Igbo people
for the things I said. I am sorry. I was drunk. I was drinking
some Orijin just before the meeting. It was my 1st time, it was
so sweet, I did not know it would be so intoxicating. I have
ordered that all Orijin Bottles and Cans should be thrown into
the Lagoon Instead”.
Meanwhile, Boys in Lagos are planning to protest the Oba’s
move to throw all the Orijin into the Lagoon. They have paid a
Twitter Trender to trend the Hashtag #DontDrownOurOrijin.
